Literally no serious lawyer agrees with the EHRC. So you have to ask, why did Ministers, the EHRC and the BBC rush out a single, basically dishonest, narrative?

If your employer is struggling to work out how to respond to the awful Supreme Court decision this FAQs document reflects advice we've had from a team including a leading KC. goodlawproject.org/resource/tra...

Starmer is just Johnson with managerial presentation. An ambition fuelled principle vacuum

I hear Labour are furious about the Pride ban. Good morning everybody!

“It may well be that this Labour government will be remembered as more villainous to the queer community than Thatcher’s. I fear for what’s to come.” 👏👏👏

Note that the question isn’t what bathrooms should i use but will you make me a criminal for living my life as i have the last ten years

Fucking hell. I know nobody’s in greasy overalls for you to fetishise, Labour, but this is still an industry full of working people on marginal incomes that you are voluntarily destroying, you dumb tech-fetishising goons. You just sold us for corporate strip-mining. Up the workers.

The UK Government hasn’t made this change at any of its premises btw www.heraldscotland.com/news/2514895...

You all helped make 19-year old Ahmed's from Gaza's dream of enrolling in game artist studies come true. Now, he needs additional funding to pay for living expenses. Let's prove this industry tries to take care of anyone that shares our dream of making games. www.gofundme.com/f/help-ahmed...

Today I've released my first solo acoustic guitar album Music for Sharks! I'm very grateful that I've been able to follow this dream and I hope you can enjoy my percussive guitar and janky rhythms 🦈 Find it where ever you like to get music! ffm.to/musicforsharks

ok now we got entering *and* leaving the room all covered

Cute half frame shots of the last few months! Have a speach for trans rights in front of my Derby team, went up a hill near Galashiels, and danced to Lauren Mayberry at the Barras, and listened to Amal El Mohtar talk about her new book (The River has Roots) in Glasgow 🥰 #HalfFrame #film

Is there such a thing as a graphic designer I can hire to create something in the exact style of a USA Road Atlas map?

Please share widely. I nearly cried at the number of historians who signed this. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Absolutely not. Every time someone tries this, I point out how it biases against Black speech. Every. Time. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Also from the launch of the Perspective API and its "toxicity" score. Police don't kill too many Black kids." Score: Not toxic.🤦🏿‍♂️ "Police kill too many Black kids. Score: 80.28% toxic.😮

Labour will not learn the right lesson from this. They will move further right. This isn't even a hot take or a insightful prediction, it's just going to happen and there's no numbers you can show these clowns that'll stop them.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

the thing about AI is that the only person who seems to be getting anything out of it is the person who put in the prompt. I swear to god being online right now is like being surrounded by strangers trying to explain their dreams to you

I left Duolingo when they set out in this direction. Language is the way humans communicate, and I want to learn from humans, by humans, about humans. AI should have no place in this as far as I'm concerner. www.theverge.com/news/657594/...

Labour MPs, if you so much as try to speak at Edin pride, prepare to have your ass boo-ed into next year

Cosigned.

I need more people to read these books. Bad ass women fighting in space, blowing up stuff. It's so good.

in related news:

Starmer has broken every manifesto promise he has made to trans people; his government is supressing data on the suicides his policies are causing and commissioning bogus reports to attack those trying to tell the truth; and is dishonest about what the judgment means. And now he wants us to shut up?

Also if the UK goes the way the US has re passports, don't get stuck in the UK because you suddenly find you can't renew your passport. If you think this might be an issue for you, I'd renew it now.

Back on the No AI Starter Pack trend, this time with the devils! @elizabethmay.bsky.social and I released the Seven Devils duology in the midst of lockdown, which kept us from promoting the series as well as we would have liked. (1/2)

Today Google AI confidently told me that the galaxy M96 is a member of the Virgo Cluster. Friends, I have studied the Virgo Cluster for years. M96 is most definitely not in Virgo. If AI is wrong about the things you know about, it's also almost certainly wrong about all the things you don't.
